Abstract

This research study investigates some industrial maintenance, and respective technologies that can be employed at a dairy products processing plant. Qualitative as well as quantitative techniques are considered. Plant availability has been identified as a major contributor in benchmarking areas at the company to avoid possible huge costs associated with loss of production and efficiency resulting from poor utilization of resources. The use of tools that aid maintenance is emphasized in particular to identify critical plant equipment that requires greater attention.
